Sta-Kon BC75 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon BC75 ring terminal accept?
The BC75 is sized for 16-14 AWG conductors. If you are terminating 12-10 AWG or 22-18 AWG, this is the wrong barrel size, and an undersized or oversized crimp on a lug is the usual cause of a loose, heating connection.
2) What bolt or stud size does the BC75 ring fit?
The ring tongue is made for a 1/2 inch bolt or stud, which is what the BLT1/2 in the part description refers to. That makes it a large ring on a relatively small conductor, the usual case when small control or signal wire has to land on a heavy bus bolt or motor terminal.
3) Is the Sta-Kon BC75 terminal copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The BC75 is copper. Copper-only lugs are for copper conductors; aluminum conductors need a terminal marked AL or AL9CU with the proper compound. Using a copper lug on aluminum wire sets up a dissimilar-metal joint that corrodes and loosens.
4) Is the Sta-Kon BC75 insulated, and do I need to sleeve it?
It is a non-insulated terminal, bare metal with no nylon or vinyl sleeve. If the installation needs the barrel covered, you add heat shrink or a sleeve separately. Non-insulated lugs are also what you want when the termination sits under a cover with limited clearance or sees heat that would damage insulation.
5) What voltage is this Sta-Kon ring terminal rated for?
600 V, which covers standard commercial and industrial branch circuits, control panels, and motor connections up to 600 volts. It carries UL file E9809.
6) Is the BC75 UL listed for use in a panel inspection?
It is covered under UL file E9809, so the terminal itself is recognized to a UL standard. The crimp is only as good as the die, so use the tool matched to a 16-14 AWG non-insulated barrel.
7) Should I use a ring terminal like the BC75 or a fork (spade) terminal?
A ring tongue fully captures the bolt, so it cannot vibrate off the stud if the hardware backs off slightly. That is why ring terminals are specified on motors, bus bolts, grounding points, and anything that moves. A fork terminal slides out from under a loosened screw, which makes it faster to service but a poor choice where vibration or safety is a factor. The BC75 is a heavy-duty ring with a 1/2 inch bolt hole for 16-14 AWG.
